§ Mr. David Priceasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will give a breakdown of the figures appearing under the heading, Board of Trade and Ministry of Technology Services, in table 2.6, "Other Assistance to Employment and Industry", of Command Paper No. 4234, Public Expenditure 1968–69 to 1973–74, by category of service.
§ Mr. William RodgersThe figures referred to relate to administrative and staff costs incurred by the Board of Trade and Ministry of Technology. It is not possible to give a breakdown of this expenditure by individual services but in the main it covers the Board of Trade expenditure shown under the Civil Estimates 1969–70 Class IV, 9. Part of this expenditure has now been transferred to the Ministry of Technology.
